选项(A、B、C、D)填在相应位置上,选择中有一项为多余选项。
A
Here are five suggestions for a healthy life. Please find the right advice for
each of the students.
A
Rest while you can! When we were
babies, we slept for much of the night.
Teenagers do not need as much sleep
as babies, but it is important for you to
get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At
weekend, you have got more time, so
use it not just for your games, but for
rest too.
B
Eat healthy food! It is important to
eat food that is fresh and natural, for
example, fruits and vegetables. Fast
food is not healthy. You should only
have it once in a while. Eating too
much of wrong food will harm your
health.
C
Do not worry. Be happy! Many
people believe that happiness is
important for our health. Sometimes it
is not easy to be a teenager because of
the difficulties of school exams or
friendships. If you are worried about
something, talk to your parents or your
teachers.
D
Say no to smoking! Yes, you knew
I was going to say this! It is so
important. Smoking is not cool. It is
dangerous. It harms nearly every part
of your body. Think about how your
family and friends will feel and think
about what it will do to your health.
21. _______
22. _______
23. _______
I like fried chicken and hamburgers. I hate
vegetables. What should I do?
Alice

C
Sometimes when the rain falls hard and fast on you, it might hurt a little. But
what happens when it hits a mosquito?
In 2012, David Hu, a scientist, became interested in
this problem and decided to do a research. He used a
high-speed camera so that he could watch the
mosquitoes in very slow motion and find out what
they’re doing when they’re out in the rain.
What he found is that when a raindrop falls on a
mosquito, it’s like when a bus hits a person. Besides, the little insect (昆虫) is hit
by a raindrop about once every 20 seconds. So why don’t we see many dead
mosquitoes after it rains? A mosquito is as big as a raindrop, but it is much
lighter—0.002g only. This saves its life in raindrop hits. Because the mosquito is
so light, when it is hit by a raindrop, it won’t experience a force that is strong
enough to kill it.
The study also found that when a mosquito is hit by a raindrop, the insect is
pushed by the raindrop and falls together with it. But the mosquito doesn’t get wet
easily because it is covered with hairs which keep off water. After dropping about
6 cm, it will roll off the raindrop and fly away.
27. The underlined word “motion” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. time B. movie C. step D.movement
28. What protect mosquitoes in the rain?
A. Their mouths and their noses.
B. Their eyes and their ears.
C. Their legs and their wings.
D. Their light bodies and their hairs.
29. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. How Raindrops Hurt Mosquitoes
B. When Mosquitoes Are in Danger
C. Why Mosquitoes Aren’t Hurt in Rain
D. When Mosquitoes Meet Their Death

D
At an early age, we start learning how to manage (管理) money by watching
our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save
or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good
spending habits.
Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where
money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money.
Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand
money is not that easy to make.
We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a
budget (预算). In other words, we need to think about how much money we have
and what we really want to spend it on. We should make clever spending choices.
We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a
new bicycle but can’t pay for it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down
how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough,
we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about!
We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes.
Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents.
We should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard
job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management step by step!
30. Where does money come from according to the second paragraph?
A. Parents’ hard work. B. Kids’ life lessons.
C. Good spending habits. D. The bank account.
31. What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle?
A. Buy a wonderful notebook. B. Make a free spending choice.
C. Set a goal of saving money. D. Have an experience of shopping.

A. Adults can make money grow more.
B. Kids should have a money spending plan.
C. Parents may give kids lots of pocket money.

阅读短文,根据内容回答问题。
Fun in the Run
The marathon (马拉松) is very popular all over the world. In China, for the
first six months of this year, there were 133 marathons across the country.
Teenagers also join marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old boy from Suqian,
Jiangsu, loves running. He got the first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the
Suqian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu, the race meant months of training and
preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week before
the run.
“Unlike the 800-meter run at school, a marathon is about a runner’s
endurance (耐力) and psychological quality (心理素质).” he said.
When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-
distance running, the only opponent (对手) you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added.
Kindness from the people around plays a big part in helping runners get to
the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi joined a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin
Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people
cheering along the course really encouraged her.
“When things were hard, people around cheered me on. Even if it was just
the words, ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to
the end,” Li said.
She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final
goal, not the suffering along the way. “Our life is also a marathon,” Li said.
34. How long does Xu Qian run each week to get ready for the race?
35. According to Xu Qian, who do you have to beat in long-distance running?
36. What does Li Zhouzi think is a great help in her running?
37. Do you like the long-distance running, like 800-meter run ? Why or why not?
(Give two reasons.)
